A unique view looking up into NASA’s mobile launcher (ML) support structure:NASA Media Item

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – The camera captures a unique view looking up into NASA’s mobile launcher (ML) support structure at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A media event was held on the grounds to detail ML’s use with NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) heavy-lift rocket, which will take astronauts into deep space on missions to asteroids, the moon or Mars. NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden and Center Director Bob Cabana also were in attendance for the event. It took about two years to construct the 355-foot-tall ML structure, which will support NASA's future human spaceflight program. The ML can be outfitted with ground support equipment, such as umbilicals and access arms, for future rocket launches. Photo credit: NASA/Jim Grossmann
